Bobcaygeon
The 'heart' of the Kawartha Lakes region, with Lock 32 of the Trent-Severn Waterway running through town. The old Kawartha Dairy ice cream is a must-try.
Bobcaygeon sits between Pigeon Lake and Sturgeon Lake. Lock 32, completed in 1833, is the oldest lock on the Trent-Severn Waterway. The main street has galleries, boutiques, and cafés, and the Kawartha Dairy ice cream shop always has a long line. The Canadian band Tragically Hip's song 'Bobcaygeon' made the town famous across the country. In summer you can rent a boat to tour the lakes. It is about 40 km from Peterborough.
